Bellingham Public Library DIY Collection

Bellingham is a community of creators, actively involved in many cultural, artistic, environmental, and other endeavors. As part of a grant-funded project, Bellingham Public Library plans to create customized resource kits and related programs on topics that promote sustainability, self-reliance and innovation. These do-it-yourself (DIY) kits will be available for check-out at the Central Library, so that community members can pursue diverse activities with access to relevant information and local resources. Let us know what interests and inspires you!
